Another year, another posting of the Human Rights Campaign’s annual 990′s to the IRS in which it discloses its obscene salaries for the non-profits top employee’s.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

Read it and shake your head with disgust and weep. All that money and STILL they have unpaid interns.

THIS is where your donation dollars go.

$2,873,400…

And not a penny of it taken home by a trans person.

Elite gays exist are destroying the movement by immorally enriching themselves while ensuring that no trans women are ever able to earn a living doing actual, relevant work (that most – even with ample advocacy and/or lawyering experience, would be willing to do for 1/4 or even less of the lowest of those disgusting salaries) within Gay, Inc.

Because those of use not in the 1% may not be aware of the phrase – a gross up means that unlike you saps – their salaries are reimbursed yet again for taxes and other deductions. For two reasons –

1. Paying taxes is for suckers.
2. It makes the salaries look smaller in the press

An incentive bonus for a new employee…and an unspecified bonus? Jeez – there must be a very happy, very rich old man out there somewhere.

But, yes. the Williams Inst numbers would seem to indicate trans people are about 9% of the lgbt community. We have 0% of the jobs at HRC. First question from a Republican Sen to Allison Herwit – so how many of these transgender people do you all employ? Are you one of them? Well are you gay? So – your group will hire a straight woman before one of them? And you want to lecture us? Honey – that dawg won’t hunt,

gross up

This term is most frequently used in terms of salary; an employee can receive their salary grossed up, which means that they would receive the full salary promised to them, without deductions for tax.
